The Flight Standards Service of the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has developed this practical test book as a standard to be used
by FAA inspectors and designated pilot examiners when conducting
private pilot—glider practical tests. Flight instructors are expected to use
this book when preparing applicants for practical tests. Applicants should
be familiar with this book and refer to these standards during their
training.
Information considered directive in nature is described in this practical
test book in terms, such as “shall” and “must” indicating the actions are
mandatory. Guidance information is described in terms, such as “should”
and “may” indicating the actions are desirable or permissive, but not
mandatory.
The FAA gratefully acknowledges the valuable assistance provided by
many individuals and organizations throughout the aviation community
who contributed their time and talent in assisting with the revision of
these practical test standards.
These practical test standards may be accessed through the Internet at
www.fedworld.gov/pub/faa-att/faa-att.htm, or by modem at 703-321-3339.
You may purchase these standards from the Superintendent of Documents,
U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
Changes to these standards, in accordance with AC 60-27,
